Swell Summary
The largest surf will be along east-facing shores the next couple of days. Recent buoy observations have strong trades over and upwind of the state producing short period (around 10 second) 8 to 9 foot seas. These large east wind waves will produce rough chop along eastern shores but surf should remain under High Surf Advisory criteria today. Rough eastern shore surf will subside back to near seasonal levels late today or Wednesday. Surf along north-facing shores will be below November averages through the week as a series of primarily small 3 to 4 foot, medium period north northwest swells (340-350 degree) move in. The latest swell peaked Monday and will decline through Wednesday, followed by a couple of overlapping north northwest swells from Thursday into the weekend. Small surf continues along south-facing shores.
